Applied mathematical logic

Here we have some humour, courtesy of View. Gracias, amigo!

This comes from 2 math teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs. experience. It has an indisputable mathematical logic. 
This is a strictly ..... mathematical viewpoint... and it goes like this:
What Makes 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.
How about achieving 103%?
What makes up 100% in life? 
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If we assign a number to each letter of the alphabet:


Then: 
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And 
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E  
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 =96% 
But ,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E  
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And, 
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T  
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 =103% 
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you. 
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G  
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 =118% 

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there. It's the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.
Now you know why some people are where they are!

Back to my favourite subject

I like art. I really like it when artists find different ways to express themselves. This guy falls in this category.

It should be quite spectacular

I've never spent 4th of July in the States before. I'm sure there will be a few fireworks...

Happy 4th of July!

Quick note from Miami

Yo, my lovely peeps! I'm totally jet-lagged and still exhausted from an absolutely epic journey. There are pitfalls to life in the sticks, such as the logistics of getting from A to B to C at the right time, etc etc etc. I spent more than 40 hours awake, walking miles in a very large airport or sitting uncomfortably for hours on end. No wonder I have the impression I landed on another planet! I'll try to post as often as possible. In the meantime, here are a couple of nice pictures:

Stylish, thought provoking paintings

I find some of these pictures contain accurate and intelligent criticism of modern life and politics. They're by Marco Melgrati, a young Italian illustrator from Milan, now based in Mexico City.

Happy birthday to Sleuth and Queen of Sheeba!

As a bonus, have some European delicacies and drinks, but leave the baked beans!

Britain steps back into the last century.

We went to bed feeling hopeful and woke up to the shocking news that Britons had chosen to leave the EU.


One of the idiots leading the Brexit campaign, a jingoistic, racist guy called Nigel Farage, who is married to a German woman (go figure), made a victory speech where he stated: "We won without a bullet being fired." 


How quickly he forgot Jo Cox, who was not only the victim of three bullets, but was also stabbed and kicked by someone who enthusiastically embraced the Brexit rhetoric. RIP, Jo.


They wanted to take their country back (where have I heard this before?). Yes, back to the days before the European Union, with all their "human rights nonsense," without laws that guarantee workers a fairer deal, no rules, no regulations... 

Aah... back to the good old days!

I'll explain what will happen to us when I find out...

This is our granddaughter! We're incredibly happy and can't stop smiling! Billy came up with the hashtag and posted this in a message to me last Friday, when they found out it's a girl:


Billy already talks to Sandra's belly, now he can read the books we sent them. They're by Ted Sieger, who created some of my all time favourite cartoons.


We're planning to go to Munich in October to celebrate Peter's 70th and to help Billy paint a mural based on Ted Sieger's "Wildlife" series.


Here's the happy couple, counting the days until December:
